00:00The security of PITX is still tight, where travelers are expected to go.
00:06The terminal's management is also worried about the colored cars.
00:11Gael Custodio is in the center of the live news.
00:15Angelique, now that Christmas is over, there are still a lot of people traveling here at the Parantaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX.
00:30Based on the latest information, as of 1am, the food traffic here at PITX is already almost 87,000.
00:37Even though it's the last minute of the trip of Vilma Batong Lucena, she is sure that there will be a bus to go back to the province.
00:45We went there yesterday and it's already booked.
00:49So we can go for sure.
00:51Ellen is still working, so she will do her best to make it to Nochebuena with her family in Batangas.
00:58The last time we went in was on the 23rd.
01:02PITX's management made it clear that if some trips are already fully booked, the trips will be replenished immediately.
01:09This means that the number of trips will increase or the buses will return from one area.
01:15This is to meet the demand of the passengers this holiday.
01:18Aside from the record-breaking food traffic in PITX yesterday, which was almost 233,000,
01:24yesterday was also the 50 millionth passenger of PITX.
01:27This is the first time that 50 million passengers have reached the so-called terminal in a year.
01:34Meanwhile, the management of PITX always reminds us that we are not allowed to bring anything that might cause a fire.
01:43Yesterday, they already confiscated the prohibited items.
01:46Most of them are lighter and small.
01:49Police and K9 units are spread out for additional security.
01:53The management of PITX warns the coloroms in the vehicles.
01:57The coloroms have no franchise or license for the routes that are provided to the provincial bus.
02:02It is also possible for the coloroms to invade the vehicles.
02:12Angelique, for now, the provincial buses are still fully operational.
02:16That's why it is still possible for the people returning to the province to catch a ride for Noche Buena.
02:20It is also good news that there is no longer a long queue in the ticketing booths here in PITX.
02:26Yes, so Vel, is there a way to bring pets like dogs and cats?
02:34Or is it prohibited in the buses?
02:41Angelique, we still know that in the management of PITX.
02:45But based on the passengers, some of them also bring pets.
02:49It is possible that there is a limitation regarding this, Angelique.
02:53Okay, thank you very much, Vel Pistojo.
